Wrote this poem for the writing prompt: “All Grown Up.” that had asked “When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever).” 

:

Time Warp

I am stuck in time
My age-mates pass me by

I look in the mirror
Not much change I find

 Yes I haven’t changed
Yet I surely have

I was born an old soul
Now so young I am

Getting younger day by day
Prime of youth came so late

Now I refuse to grow up
Have vowed to die young

To be old, to be a grown up
I’ll have to be born again

Forever Young
